“…The opposite set of sensilla (SB2, SCo2, SCo3) was distinguished in the next taxa, R. linearis and R. unicolor. However, the olfactory sensilla placodea that were observed in other insects and heteropteran bugs (Ahmad et al 2016;Nowińska and Brożek 2017) do not occur in Nepoidea.…”

“…In Ranatrinae, sensilla trichodea were absent. The other common type of mechanosensilla-sensilla chaetica, present in many heteropteran insects (Chinta et al 1997;Slu 1980;Akent'eva 2008;Ahmad et al 2016;Nowińska and Brożek 2017), is poorly represented in Nepoidea. Less numerous sensilla chaetica were observed only in Belostomatidae (H. colombiae or L. patruelis).…”

“…Moreover, there are six main types of antennal sensilla pointed by several authors in Heteroptera. Those are sensilla trichodea, chaetica, campaniformia, coeloconica, basiconica and placodea (Catalá 1997;Gracco and Catalá 2000;Guerenstein and Guerin 2001;Carbajal de la Fuente and Catalá 2002;Slu 1980;Chinta et al 1997;Rani and Madhavendra 2005;Ventura and Panizzi 2005;Rani and Madhavendra 1995;Brézot et al 1997;Sinitsina and Chaika 1998;Ahmad et al 2016;Akent'eva 2008;Nowińska and Brożek 2017). The antennae of Gerromorpha are considered to bear only three of these main sensilla types.…”

The Nepoidea superfamily belongs to the water bugs' infraorder (Nepomorpha) and consists of two families-Belostomatidae and Nepidae. Species from those families are the largest of all nepomorphans and are considered to be top predators in aquatic ecosystems. A characteristic feature of the group is the existence of short antennae concealed in grooves behind the eyes, which is an adaptation to the water habitat. The antennae bear many types of sensillar structures, which receive signals from the environment. Among such structures, mechanosensilla were of the greatest diversity. The antennal sensilla of species from both families were examined under the scanning electron microscope. 11 essential morphological types of sensilla were distinguished, including 5 new mechanosensilla types (sensilla paddle-like, cone-like, squamiformia, brush-like and club-like). Basal types of mechanosensilla such as trichodea, chaetica, basiconica (subtype 1) and campaniformia occur in Nepoidea and other Heteroptera. In some representatives of both families, sensilla paddle-like and sensilla basiconica type 1 were observed. Moreover, sensilla chaetica and cone-like were found in some species of Belostomatidae, whereas in Nepidae sensilla squamiformia, brush-like and club-like were observed. Apart from mechanosensilla, one type of thermohygrosensilla (ampullacea) and two different shaped olfactory sensilla basiconica (subtypes 2, 3) and coeloconica (subtypes 1, 2, 3) were found. It could indicate sensilla use in the identification of the water reservoirs and locating prey.

“…Insects use the sense of smell to search for food, find mates, choose breeding grounds, and evade predators (Van Naters & Carlson, ). The olfactory sensors of insects are mainly located on the antennae (Ahmad, Parveen, Brożek, & Dey, ; Pelosi, Zhou, Ban, & Calvello, ; Vogt & Riddiford, ). During olfactory perception, the odorous molecules are collected by various sensors and converted into electrical signals for complex recognition.…”

Our bioassays reviewed that antennae played crucial roles in the responses of maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) to food and sex volatiles. In order to identify the maize weevil odorant-binding protein (OBP) genes, we analyzed its antennal transcriptome. In total, 21,587,928 high-quality clean reads were obtained from RNA-seq, 52,206 unigenes were assembled, and 25,744 unigenes showed significant similarity (E value < 10 −5 ) to known proteins in the NCBI nonredundant protein database. From those unigenes, we identified 41 candidate OBP proteins, which could be categorized into dimeric OBPs subfamily, minus-C OBPs subfamily, and classical OBPs subfamily. Phylogenic analysis indicated that most maize weevil OBPs were closely related to their orthologues in other beetles of the Superfamily Curculionoidea. We further investigated the expression profiles of those candidate OBP genes by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Twenty-six of forty-one maize weevil OBP genes were highly expressed in the antennae or other parts of the head. The rest were expressed in the legs, wings, or other tested tissues.

Artur taszakowski * & natalia Kaszyca-taszakowska teratological cases of the antennae in the family Aradidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) are widely described for the first time. Four hundred seventy-six specimens of flat bugs were studied, and antennal malformations were found in 14 of them (2.94%) (belonging to eight species and three subfamilies: Aradinae, Aneurinae and Mezirinae). All of the teratologies were observed using optical microscopy; moreover, in order to determine any compensatory regeneration, selected cases were also studied using a scanning electron microscope. In almost all of the specimens, the successful regeneration of the sensory organs to various degrees was observed. Additional results were the discovery of a previously unrecognized type of sensillum in flat bugs-a campaniform sensillum as well as significant differences in the distribution of the sensilla depending on the systematic affiliation.
